Pelangi Beach Resort Review

For those who prefer a more active vacation or are looking for a resort that's more family-oriented, I recommend Pelangi. A top-quality resort, this place stands out from neighboring five-star resorts for its sheer fun. A long list of organized sports and leisure pastimes makes it especially attractive for families, but, surprisingly, I've never found children to be a distraction here. Pelangi's wooden chalets are huge inside and are divided into one, two, or four guestrooms. You'll be welcomed by vaulted ceilings, modern bathrooms, and large living spaces. But it's the little things you'll love -- I didn't want to get out of bed and leave my squishy down pillows and snuggly bedding. In addition, Pelangi's location, near the central beach strip for island life, means you're not cloistered away from the rest of civilization.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; 3 bars; 2 large outdoor pools w/swim-up bar; golf nearby; minigolf course; outdoor lighted tennis courts; squash courts; health club w/sauna, steam, and massage; Jacuzzi; watersports center w/equipment rental and boating excursions; concierge; airport transfers; room service; babysitting

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
